1971 Map of Tercio

About this map

The Maxwell Grant, specifically the Beaubien and Miranda portion, dominates this 1970s landscape in southern Colorado. The settlement of Tercio is centered near the coal mining operations that defined the local economy, including the Tercio Mine and the Vega Mine. These industrial sites are linked by an Old Railroad Grade that follows the winding path of the South Fork Purgatoire River, illustrating the historical dependence on rail for moving resources out of the canyon floor.
